What is the matter with people's brains?! No wonder we are facing massive storms, droughts, rising sea levels, flooding, melting glaciers and polar ice. The human race will make itself extinct through sheer hubristic stupidity. A complete failure to address facts and reality. #ClimateCrisis

The UK suffers from a finance curse. Far from being our economic jewel, the City of London has drained trillions from the economy. That’s lost jobs, lost investment, and a weaker democracy. In this video, I explain why finance is making Britain poorer, and what must change. youtu.be/Ssa_4TqpxVg?...

In 2024-25 HMRC wrote-off £7.2bn of tax. Main reason is UK insolvency law. Since 2003, HMRC has been an unsecured creditor for taxes owed by companies such as corporation and capital gains tax. Billions lost. Public purse pays subsidies, employment & other benefits. Reinstate Crown preference.

Sorry – the killing of Charlie Kirk was wrong, but having his body flown on Air Force 2, flags at half-mast, having him lie in state, putting a statute of him in the Capitol, and giving him a Presidential Medal of Freedom are all entirely inappropriate.

Q: Do you know how many transgender Americans have been mass shooters over the last 10 years? Charlie Kirk: Too many.* Q (same person): Do you know how many mass shooters there have been in America over the last 10 years? Kirk (final words): Counting or not counting gang violence?** Kirk = BS 🤷💯
*There have been a total of 5 transgender mass shooters. The first was in 2018 which is why this pie chart compared non-transgender vs the rest (all male btw).**The Gun Violence Archive began tracking gang violence within mass shootings in 2014; FBI had ignored gang violence when tracking mass shootings prior to GVA tracking. Regardless, gang mass shootings totaled 885... out of nearly 6,000 total mass shootings in that timeframe; in other words, 15%.

They keep conflating freedom of speech and freedom of consequences from hate speech. Charlie Kirk wasn't shot for expressing his opinions. You are free to say whatever terrible things you want. However your entitlement does not protect you from the consequences of what you say.
